Master the PSLE Oral Exam: How an Oral Workshop Can Help Your Child Ace the 2025 Changes

Introduction

The PSLE English Oral Exam is evolving in 2025, increasing in weightage from 15% to 20% and placing a stronger emphasis on real-world communication skills. This means students must be well-prepared to excel in both the Reading Aloud and Stimulus-Based Conversation (SBC) sections.

At Speech Academy Asia, we specialize in oral communication excellence, offering structured training that equips students with the skills and confidence they need to excel in the updated PSLE Oral Exam. With our proven track record, innovative methodologies, and esteemed team of coaches, we are the best-positioned institution to help your child succeed.

 

1. Understanding the PSLE English Oral Exam Changes (2025)

🔹 Increased Weightage

• The oral component will now account for 20% of the total PSLE English score (previously 15%).

🔹 Reading Aloud Enhancements

• Marks for Reading Aloud will increase from 10 to 15.

• A new preamble will provide context for the reading passage, requiring students to adjust their tone, pace, and expression based on the Purpose, Audience, and Context (PAC).

🔹 Stimulus-Based Conversation (SBC) Modifications

• SBC will now carry 25 marks instead of 20.

• Real-life photographs will replace illustrated posters, requiring students to observe details, infer meanings, and share personal experiences.

• Themes for Reading Aloud and SBC will no longer be linked, meaning students must adapt to a wider range of topics.

2. Why Attend a PSLE Oral Workshop?

With these changes, PSLE oral workshops are now more crucial than ever. A structured oral exam workshop can help students:

✅ Master Reading Aloud – Improve pronunciation, fluency, and expression.

✅ Excel in Stimulus-Based Conversation – Learn structured answering techniques using the PEEL method (Point, Explain, Example, Link).

✅ Speak with Confidence – Overcome nervousness with expert coaching.

✅ Analyze Real-Life Photos – Develop observation and inferential skills.
